Tyler Alexander Will Start On Thursday

Detroit Tigers pitcher Tyler Alexander is set to start on Thursday against the Tampa Bay Rays. Alexander has made 37 appearances, 11 of which were starts, for the Tigers this season. The left-hander has pitched to a 4.09 ERA and a 4.50 FIP in 83.2 innings with 71 strikeouts and 21 walks. In his last […]

Alex Bregman On The Bench Wednesday

Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Texas Rangers and right-hander Kohei Arihara. Bregman is hitting .297 with a .375 on-base percentage, 10 home runs, and a stolen base in 331 plate appearances this season. He'll head to the bench with Marwin Gonzalez starting in his place at third and […]

Joey Gallo Isn't Starting On Wednesday

New York Yankees outfielder Joey Gallo will begin Wednesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles and left-hander John Means on the bench. The 27-year-old is batting .199 with a .355 on-base percentage, 34 home runs, and six stolen bases in 563 plate appearances this season. Aaron Judge, who started Tuesday's game in center field, is moving […]

Falcons Defense Is Not A Starting-Caliber Unit

The Atlanta Falcons defense should remain far away from fantasy lineups this week as the team heads to Tampa Bay to play the defending Super Bowl champion Bucs. Last week, this team was lit up by sophomore QB Jalen Hurts to the tune of 264 yards and three touchdowns while also being gashed on the […]

Kyle Pitts A TE1 In Week 2

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts is a TE1 option against Tampa this week. Pitts had a decent NFL debut last week, posting four receptions for 31 yards on eight targets. What really stood out was his targets, which were tied for the highest on the team with Calvin Ridley. It's now assumed the rookie […]

Russell Gage Better Left On The Bench

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage is not a fantasy-worthy play this week against the Buccaneers. Last week, though the Falcons struggled, the receiver laid a goose egg and couldn't muster even a single yard. Gage is expected to be the WR2 behind Calvin Ridley this season and should be third in line for targets […]

Pharaoh Brown Dealing With Multiple Ailments

Houston Texans tight end Pharaoh Brown (ankle, shoulder) is dealing with multiple ailments, which had him marked sitting out of Wednesday's practice session. Brown enjoyed a solid Week 1, corralling four of five targets for 67 receiving yards in his team's Week 1 win. The Oregon product will need to get at least a limited […]

Calvin Ridley A WR1 Against Tampa

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley is a solid WR1 option against Tampa this week. As expected, Ridley paced the team last week with five receptions for 51 yards on eight targets in Week 1 against the Eagles. With Julio Jones out of town, the youngster now has no competition for the WR1 role and […]

Trevor Rogers Lasts Only Four Innings On Wednesday

Miami Marlins rookie starting pitcher Trevor Rogers only made it through four innings in Wednesday's start against the Washington Nationals. The Marlins ended up winning the game late, leaving Rogers with a no decision. In his four innings, he was able to limit damage, allowing just one run on seven hits and a walk while […]

Mike Davis Best Left On The Bench In Week 2

Atlanta Falcons running back Mike Davis is not a strong starting option in Week 2 against Tampa. The new RB1 of the Falcons posted 15 carries for 49 yards in the season opener against Philly last week. While Davis should get the majority of touches each week, that's not saying much considering the Falcons' only […]

Matt Ryan A Low-End QB2 Against Buccaneers

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan is only a low-end QB2 option in Week 2 against the Buccaneers. Last week against the Eagles, Ryan struggled and only managed 164 yards total without any touchdowns or interceptions. Now without Julio Jones this season, the QB is down to Calvin Ridley and rookie Kyle Pitts as his top […]

Jordan Whitehead Expected To Play In Week 2

Tampa Bay Buccaneers safety Jordan Whitehead (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. Whitehead missed the opener after sustaining a hamstring injury upon clearing the COVID-19 protocols during training camp but appears set to rejoin Tampa Bay's defensive backfield. The Pittsburgh product started all 16 games for the Buccaneers defense in 2020, posting career […]

Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

It felt good to enjoy a full Sunday of NFL action and follow every player on multiple fantasy teams. But now the work begins. Thankfully there weren't many serious injuries in Week 1 but there are always holes to fill or standouts you want to get a hold of before the competition. That's where this […]

College Fantasy Football DFS Rankings: Week 3

Week three in college DFS brings us very few great actual games, but there are some tasty DFS match-ups. It will also be interesting to see how name brands USC and FSU bounce back after losses last week and changes at head coach and quarterback respectively.   CFB DFS Quarterback Rankings QB GPP Rankings  Per […]

Bryan De La Cruz Just Keeps Getting On Base

Miami Marlins rookie outfielder Bryan De La Cruz just keeps on getting on base and scoring runs. On Wednesday against the Washington Nationals, De La Cruz went 1-for-3 with two walks, three runs scored, and two RBI. His hit was a solo homer in the eighth inning, giving him five home runs and 17 RBI. […]

Jesus Sanchez Homers Twice On Wednesday

Miami Marlins rookie outfielder Jesus Sanchez hit two home runs in Wednesday's win over the Washington Nationals. Sanchez went 2-for-4 with four RBI and two runs scored. Both of his homers were two-run shots, with his second one serving as the game winner. Sanchez has been on fire lately, and he's up to an .804 […]

Eagles Defense Not A Great Option In Week 2

The Philadelphia Eagles defense is not a strong fantasy option for Week 2 despite their solid Week 1 performance. In their first game of the season, the Eagles defense only allowed six points to the Atlanta Falcons. They were able to sack Matt Ryan three times but did not record any turnovers. It seemed more […]

Jake Elliott An OK Option For Week 2 Lineups

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott is an OK but thoroughly unexciting kicking option for Week 2 lineups. Elliott made a field goal and three extra points in Week 1, and as long as the Eagles offense keeps clicking, he should see plenty of chances to put points on the board. He doesn't have a big […]

49ers Pick Up Trenton Cannon Off Waivers

The San Francisco 49ers claimed running back Trenton Cannon off waivers from the Baltimore Ravens on Wednesday. Cannon had just two carries for five yards while working behind Ty'Son Williams and Latavius Murray in Baltimore's Monday night overtime loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. The 49ers can use some more running back depth with Raheem […]

Zach Ertz Could Still Be Fantasy Relevant In Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz didn't do much in terms of production in Week 1, but there were some encouraging signs regardless. Ertz ran 23 receiving routes, only three fewer than starter Dallas Goedert. Granted, Goedert turned his routes into four catches and a touchdown while Ertz was only thrown to twice, but the […]

Dallas Goedert Looks To Separate In Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert was by far the most effective Eagles tight end in Week 1 despite a nearly even split of routes run with Zach Ertz. Goedert ran 26 receiving routes compared to Ertz's 23. Of course, Goedert was able to take five targets and turn them into four catches for 42 […]

Brandon Aiyuk A Full Go In Practice

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (hamstring) was a full go in practice on Wednesday. Aiyuk was active in the Week 1 win over the Detroit Lions, but he played on only 47.3 percent of the offensive snaps and wasn't targeted a single time. Of course, fantasy managers want to know what is going […]

Quez Watkins Not A Strong Week 2 Starter

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Quez Watkins is not a great option in Week 2 fantasy starting lineups. Watkins clearly operated as the team's slot receiver in Week 1, seeing three targets and catching all three for 23 yards. There were some designed plays for him in the first quarter, but then he more or less […]

Jalen Reagor Looks Like A Week 2 Flex Option

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jalen Reagor looked better in Week 1 than he looked at almost any point in his rookie season. Reagor caught six passes for 49 yards and a touchdown, scoring on a screen play where he was able to show off the athleticism that had the Eagles draft him with their first […]

Can Robert Tonyan Return To Form In Week 2?

Green Bay Packers tight end Robert Tonyan will try and shake off a poor performance Week 1 against the Saints this Sunday against the Lions. Tonyan caught only two passes for eight yards last week but, to be fair, no one on the Packers experienced success. Roll the calendar forward one week and now the […]

A.J. Dillon Could Find Success As Backup

Green Bay Packers running back A.J. Dillon should see more chances for success in Week 2 against the Lions. Dillon saw only four carries for 19 yards in the team's dismal offensive effort Week 1 against the Saints. But brighter days are ahead against a Lions defense that allowed the most fantasy points to opposing […]

Aaron Jones Gets Tasty Lions Matchup

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones will have an excellent chance to post RB1 numbers in Week 2 against the Lions. Jones was held to 22 total yards Week 1 and saw only five carries from the backfield as the Packers were destroyed by the Saints. But the Lions defense may be the perfect […]
